Re: I need help with my skepticism
If you need my help with any of that, and you did, you shoukd, instead of asking for help, sit down and think about what you could have investigated yourself, without me.

Re: I need help with my skepticism
Why aren't you capable of quoting something from Descartes that you believe implies that doubting that P amounts to affirming that not-P? You can quote it in Latin if you believe that will help. You want to convince me?

When reading avmbout skeoticism and doubt, this is referred to as Cartesian doubt, to signify the difference with regular doubt. Your sources do so. If there is no mention of Descartes when soeaking of skepticism and doubt, you are reading an imprecise source.

Or quote anything from anything else that I cited. But quote something. Otherwise you're wasting our time.

I'm not going to help you any further. You will have to help yourself.
